Any ideas what this little thing may be at 7 weeks? The roo is a barred rock and the mom an ameraucauna.

We also have two other siblings that look like barred rocks. Same age. One is already starting to form wattles and a bigger comb, so I assume a rooster? The other has a muff, so I'm assuming it is mixed with something else (we hatched eggs from a friend) although I'm not sure what. I think the second is a hen, though? They both were born with white patches on their head. Does the patch-on-head trick still hold when the dad is the barred rock?

Pea combed birds are harder to tell when they are young. I wouldn't venture a guess either way at this age. Better wait a few more weeks to be sure.
